Hi all, I'm having some (potential) issues with my turntable and was hoping for some advice.
Short question - have you got the Colin Meloy sings live record as per here (no I didn't pay that):
Sings Live [VINYL]: Colin Meloy: Amazon.co.uk: Music
If so, have you noticed a buzzing/distortion on much of the vocals? I have uploaded a recording I took from my record player but my website is playing up - I'll post again when it works.
I have also downloaded a couple of digital downloads from itunes to compare, and they do not have the problem. I don't think this necessarily proves something though, but am willing to be told otherwise.
Right longer question, my kit (some recent and as a direct result of advice from here! Still meaning to revisit the original thread and feedback on my thoughts, but needless to say it's fairly stunning):
Rega planar 3 turntable
Rega fono mini phono stage
Rega brio 3 amp
Monitor audio BR2 speakers
Good enough interconnects/wire
I've recently bought this new record and am noticing a buzzing/distortion on the vocals. It's very noticeable to me on my main system and I can't track down whether it's an issue with the record/recording or my setup. I haven't picked up on anything like this on other records I own...
Today I had the cartridge replaced and fitted by a dealer with this issue in mind. The distortion remains, so I guess the problem lies with the record or with another aspect of my setup.
Any ideas what could be causing it, assuming not the record?
Thanks so much for any help
